- In short
- Select Constants turns the non-formula, filled cells of your area into the active Excel selection in one step. The header row is not included: an Excel Table is scanned on its data body, header detection runs on plain ranges, and a single-row selection never counts as a header. Nothing is written to any cell; you use the resulting selection for bulk actions such as formatting or clearing.
What it is for
Select Constants is used to select the constant cells in the range.
When to use it
It earns its place whenever you have to none.
Example scenarios
- None.
What it needs
A range. Supported data types: text, number, date (by selection).
How to use it
- Select the range or table to scan.
- Run Select Constants from the Formula Audit group on the XLMind Plus tab.
- Apply whatever bulk action you need to the resulting selection, such as formatting, clearing or copying.
What it produces
A new Selection.
Effect on your data and undo
Select Constants does not change your source data; the result is added as a separate item.
How it differs from similar tools
It adds no color or notes; it builds a plain Excel selection, so you can feed the result straight into any bulk action such as formatting, clearing or copying.
Good to know
No special preconditions.
Limitations
No special preconditions.
Frequently asked questions
- Is anything written to the cells?
- No. The tool only builds a selection; contents and formats stay exactly as they are.
- Does the header row join the selection?
- No. Tables are scanned on the data body, plain ranges get header detection, and a one-row selection never counts as a header.
- Why are formula cells not selected?
- This tool isolates hand-typed values; formulas have their own tool, Select Formula Cells.
- What can I use the selection for?
- It is a standard Excel selection, so any bulk action works: coloring, clearing, copying and more.
Works well with
- To mark constants with a lasting color instead, use Highlight Constants
- For the opposite, selecting the formula cells, use Select Formula Cells
- To convert formulas into permanent values, use Formulas to Values
